West Van Police is warning residents of a scam utilizing WVPD’s non-emergency phone number.

Fraudsters 'spoofing' WVPD non-emergency line and posing as police officers. Victims are told they are speaking to a WVPD officer and are provided with a fake name and badge number.

At approximately 12:10 p.m. today, WVPD received reports of a single-vehicle collision near Pound Road in West Van. Tragically, the lone occupant of the vehicle was pronounced dead at the scene.
We extend our deepest condolences to all those impacted by this unfortunate event

✅ Lifejackets are like seatbelts - they only help you if you’re wearing them properly!
⚠️ Keep a close watch on children: 86% of children who drowned in BC & Yukon last year were inadequately supervised
⛔️ Abstain from drugs & alcohol - water & impairment are a deadly combination

It’s important to respect the signage and pavement markings: the bus lanes are for buses and motorcycles only-not EVs, HOVs, Ubers, taxis, nor those in a hurry.

Few issues aggravate #WestVan & #NorthVan residents more than queue jumpers on the #LionsGateBridge!

#WestVanPolice issued 24 violation tickets to drivers using the bus lane as their front-of-the-line access to the bridge on Friday.

Remember, a stolen garage door opener + insurance papers give thieves both your address and a possible means of entry into your home!
